Iberico de “BELLOTA” pork Shoulder Muscle “Secreto” +/- 700grs/1.4lbs Piece

The Ibérico “BELLOTA” breed of pigs is native to the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, and has evolved throughout the centuries so that today it is represented by several genetic lines. Their special characteristics (morphology, genetics, diet…) cause the animals to develop infiltrations of fat in their muscles and under the skin, which gives them the particular quality which is recognized all over the world. Their diet consists basically of acorns from holm oak and cork oak trees and grasses from the wooded pastures known as dehesas throughout the regions of Castile-Leon, Andalusia and Extremadura, where the pigs graze and roam in semi-liberty.
